At Aurigo, we don’t just build software — we help shape the future of infrastructure.

As SVP, Product, you will lead Aurigo’s global product organization and own product strategy, execution, and outcomes across a mission‑critical, enterprise‑scale platform.

• Lead end‑to‑end product execution — from discovery through delivery, adoption, and value realisation.
• Embed strong product judgement across AI‑native workflows, ensuring intelligence operates within real user contexts and decision boundaries.
• Maintain deep customer intimacy, grounding product decisions in how capital programme owners work and make decisions.
• Build, lead, and scale a high‑performing global team of Product Leaders, Product Managers, UX, and Product Operations.

• Work with the CEO and ELT to translate company strategy into clear product priorities and trade‑offs

What Success Looks Like

• Customers rely on Aurigo as a system of intelligence and action, not just a system of record.
• AI‑driven capabilities are trusted, adopted, and embedded in daily decision‑making.
• Product strategy is focused, clearly communicated, and executed consistently.
• The product organisation operates with strong judgement, accountability, and delivery confidence.
• Aurigo deepens its position as the leading AI‑native platform for capital programme management.

• 15+ years of experience in enterprise or platform product roles, including senior product leadership.
• Proven experience leading complex, mission‑critical products with demanding customers.

• Track record of building and scaling high‑performing product teams.
• Ability to operate effectively with a CEO while remaining grounded in product detail and execution.
